OBSERVATIONAL-DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS

I will cite down below some of main contents in one of module - 2D design - that I am doing research.

This module provides the creative and technical vocabulary necessary for design experimentation, development and realization.

The module enables student to explode area of two-dimensional such as visual language and visual anthropology, image making, letter forms and typography, illustration, visual research, information and signing design, lens-based media, motion graphics, interactive media and sound

Personally, throughout the module, I am able to develop and extend my own design vocabulary, philosophy and creative identity.

All research begin with observation, to watch, to record and then to describe, analyze and interpret what we have observed.
